Table Of Contents

In the current age, the era of ubiquitous multimedia based on the Internet and mobile devices, there has been a tremendous explosion in bandwidth requirements for communication networks. Very high speed, long-distance and voluminous data transfers have come to be accepted as the norm today. The needs for high speed/quality access to the Internet have driven academic and commercial interests to grow and accelerate further developments for optical technologies. Traditionally, the copper-based networks (CBNs) have been the foundation for electronic communication. These are now being replaced inevitably with optical networks due to the limitation of bandwidth capacity, which may affect the efficien-cy of content rich delivery. The strength of optical networks are such that there is huge increased in data rates as compared with CBN (i.e., 1.5Mb/s versus nearly 50Tb/s) and transmission of different data formats (i.e., video, audio, and images) over long distance up to several thousand kilo meter is possible. The result is massive installation and deployment of fiber optic cables in the data center and fiber-to-the-home. Various methodologies to terminate the fibers are being used. Table 1 shows the comparison of the legacy connectors and their advantages / disadvantages to select the most appropriate termination method [1~4].

SummaryApplicationsSeparation

As shown in Table 1, despite fusion spliced pigtails being common, this method could be avoided in the high density installations, and it is not recommended in installations involving high tensile load. Pre-connectorized cable assemblies may be deployed to reduce construction and installation time, but excess cable assembly may result in high material waste. This kind of waste can inefficiently increase the electric power for operating the air conditioning [5]. While pre-connectorized cable assemblies may appear to be preferred due to easy “plug and play” connections to the subscribers for telecommunications area, it may be difficult to pull the cable assembly though narrow spaces or over bundles of cables stored in cable runs

Considering the various termination methods described above, field installable connectivity is preferred method for the data center and telecommunications applications. There are three requirements for choosing the appropriate termination of the cables. First of all, concerning quality, optical performance should be verified after splicing. Splice quality is the most critical, and it could affect on-site repair/replace-ment and the future maintenance. Second, concerning installation, field installation should be easy with as few practices and as short length of training, as possible and it should be simple to reduce the installation time to save labor cost. Field repair should be easy, quick and safe with superior optical performance and reliability. Finally, concerning cost, low cost with high quality is always preferable. Yield (quality) of the installed connector which can cause extra visits for repair and maintenance, labor expertise (higher paid technicians) and labor time should be taken into consideration.

To choose the most suitable termination methodology, two types of field installable connectivity should be reviewed and selected as a solution for both data center and telecommunications, such as fiber-to-the-home.

Figure 1. Examples for termination and installation of the cables in the data center and in the central office

Excess length of cable and slack storage required

No Excess length of cable and no slack storage required

Field installable mechanical splice-on connectivity is based on mechanical splice technology, in which two cleaved fiber tips are mechanically aligned to each other by a special housing, e.g. v-groove and capillary, as shown in Figure 2. To improve optical performance, the end face of the ferrule should be pre-polished. The pre-cleaved fiber end in the stub is the most important factor to minimize attenuation. For example, the angle of the pre-cleaved fiber is a critical attribute to determine the quality of the connec-tivity. The cleaved fiber angle in the figure 3, (c), will cause poor quality [6, 7].

Figure 3. Interferograms of 125 μm diameter optical fiber cleaves Figure 4. Incorrectly cleaved fiber ends

There is index matching gel inserted in the splice housing which can prevent reflectance. The refractive index of index matching gel varies with temperature so the optical performance of the mechanical splice can be sensitive to temperature. Another cleaved field fiber from outside can be a significant factor deter-mining the quality, as shown in figure 4. The cleaved fiber end should not be contaminated.

(a) High quality cleave with an end angle of about 0.3⁰.

(b) More typical cleave with an end angle of about 0.5⁰.

(c) Poor quality cleave with an end angle greater than 2⁰ [4]

Typical loss for physically mated fibers in the adapter could be 0.1dB, and the loss of the mechanical splice would typically be 0.15 dB, or max. 0.4dB. Total loss would range from 0.25 dB to 0.5dB. Return loss will be approximately 40dB to 50 dB for UPC and 50dB for APC respectively. Providing RF video signal on fiber, return loss (RL) should be over 60dB, but due to the mechanical splice and index matching gel, RL ranged around 50dB, it could affect interfere in video signals. And although this type of connector is weak on vibration and there could be an air gap between the fiber tips aligned and buckling in the fiber stub, easy to assemble, no expensive tools are required, no epoxy is required and the fiber can be reseated and for repair or restoration in the data center and FTTH network.

Despite the benefits of mechanical connectivity, it has technical drawbacks. Specially, it has higher attenuation than pre-connectorized cable assemblies, and it may not be a proper method to terminate cables in the data center [5]. Table 2 shows the statistics of FTTH failure reported by China Telecom in Jiangsu province in December, 2010 and this will lead Telcos to the right direction of the success of installa-tion.

Problems with terminations at the subscriber end account for more than half of total malfunctions. lIn another developed province, problems with cable terminations account for a high ratio in total malfunc-tions in the major cities from December 2011 to January 2012 43.8% in Foshan, 41.4% in Guangzhou, 35.7% in Zhongshan, 31.7% in Yangjiang, 30.4% in Shanwei,.

ApplicationsSeparation

Fusion Splice-On Connectors are field installable and can be connected in the field, complying with international standards. Additionally, field installation technology is the most reliable connectivity method. Its polishing process results in attenuation similar to field installable mechanical connectors and pigtail solutions (immediate termination on-site with less attenuation from the end face of the ferrule). Furthermore, Fusion Splice-On Connectors provide more stable quality and performance than that of field installable mechanical connectors. They can be aligned and spliced by using Fusion Splicers with no index matching gel. The splice point can be protected with heat shrink protection sleeve in the field. In addition, Fusion Splice-On Connectors allow workers/installers to reduce working time and maintenance/service by providing reliable and quality results. This could increase work efficiency and minimize the installation cost.

The typical loss of the physical contact mated in the adapter may can be 0.1dB. Fusion splicing attenu-ation is typically 0.02dB, and maximum is 0.05dB. Therefore total expected loss is in the range of 0.12dB to 0.15dB. Expected return loss is over 55dB (UPC) and over 60dB (APC) respectively. It can be adapted to analog networks (≥55dB) with no signal interference and no noise. Types of the alignment methods are IPAAS Core, Fixed V-groove and Active clad. Most importantly, fiber angles and cleaved fiber ends can be seen on the fusion splicer while splicing and the splicing point can be protected with heat shrinkable tubes. There are many types of Fusion Splice-On Connectors. Fusion Splice on Connectors that can be applied to cable using Kevlar can also be applicable for drop cable type, and they can be adapted to the Data Center and FTTH markets. Boot type fusion splice on connectors with the Kevlar have an excellent tensile strength that can even hold about 6.8kg load after installation unlike Field installable Mechanical Connectors (Ref. Ilsintech FSOC : Cord type: 6.8kgf/Drop cable type: 4.5kgf)

2.2 Field Installable Fusion Splice-On Connector The Swift Fusion Splice-On Connector (FSOC) complies with international standards, has SC, LC, ST and FC type and is categorized by different Cables and Fibers. The popular 12-fiber MPO field installable fiber optic connector for data center is ready to launch into the market. Pre-connectorized cable assem-blies which used to be a major product for MPO connectors are now considered a waste of resources, time, and labor to repair when cable assemblies are damaged. However, MPO SOCs allow users to fix and recov-er damaged parts easily and enables them to cut and terminate on-site with the desired length of cable. This can minimize cost and efficiency by removing the storage of cable slack. Table 4 shows the types of MPO Connectivity and their advantages / disadvantages.

As shown in Table 4, MPO fusion splice-on connectors are field installable and scalable immediately for termination depending on the types of connectors and fibers and cost efficiency is maximized by less time in installation and restoration. The quality and performance is as good as MPO cable assemblies, and 12-core MPO splice-on connector is available which can be mainly used in the data center with the non-rib-bonization holder (patent pending), as shown in Figure 8, minimizing installation time up to 5 minutes. As seen in Table 5, Swift MPO Fusion Splice-On Connector is superior to the optical performance and minimal components and provide short length of termination time with no ribbonizing tool.

1) No scratches and no physical damage on fiber stripped by the built-in thermal stripper - Small scratches on fiber can cause critical crack or loss in fiber connec-tion. For example, to guarantee service life, the submarine cable is stripped by the chemical stripping method to prevent scratches on the fiber during stripping. ILSINTECH thermal stripper is designed to satisfy this clean stripping.

2) Quality guaranteed for the fusion splice-on connector (MPO, LC, SC) ‒ Premium level of loss (IL: LC and SC, Typ. 0.15dB, Max. 0.3dB, RL: SM UPC ≥55dB, APC ≥ 65dB, MM ≥30dB / MPO Typ. 0.15dB, Max. 0.35dB, RL: MM ≥20dB, SM ≥60dB) and fusion splicing loss typ. 0.02dB

1. Quality (25 year guarantee)

1) In short distance (1~30m), the pre-connectorized cable assemblies are recom-mended.

2) The longer length of the cable assemblies are relatively expensive compared to the fusion splice-on connector solution which allows on-site field termination with the desired length of cable and enables a fast installation to save time for relatively longer distance over 30 meters with narrow and limited space.

3) No additional storage required for cable slack and no splice tray required for protection of fusion splicing points.

2. Cost reduction and fast installation time

1) Most of problems and defects for the cable assemblies come from the connec-tors.

2) While the long length of pre-connectorized cable assembly is very high in manu-facturing cost. ILSINTECH’s fusion splice-on connectors enable to save cost and time by customizing the cable length on-site.

3) The fusion splice-on connectors provide solutions for easy replacement of the malfunctioned connectors, saving time and saving space due to eliminating cable slack. However, if replaced by new pre-connectorized cable assembly, it requires longer time in replacement and the space for the cable storage is required for cable slack.

The Insertion loss from the NAP was -17.5dBm as measured by the OPM of the F1+. Six terminations have been done for this SO. (NAP to OJB, OJB to connector junction box, and Connector Junction box to IOO). The output result at the IOO as read by the F1+ OPM is -18.5dBm. Average insertion loss per connector at this trial was 0.17dB.

Table 5. Comparison of MPO SOCs

Recently, the application of FTTH has become a trend, bringing a better opportunity globally, such as the spread of human knowledge, improving quality of life and health making business more productive. It’s the start of new era. However, for the successful installation of FTTH, it is most important to choose appro-priate connectors and termination methods which can be very costly [10]. The wrong choice of termination methods in FTTH networks can result in extra maintenance cost after installation, which can equal 2 to 3 times initial installation cost. In the worst case, total system malfunction has occurred, as witnessed in China in 2011. For the successful installation and maintenance, direct purchase of the proper products from Telcos should be a key point and they should distribute the products purchased directly to the instal-lation team and construction/deployment companies, and supervise the installation method. This can be the best solution for Telcos and for the customers.

3. Conclusion

Considering the reliability, scalability, performance, cost and recovery time, the most suitable termina-tion method for data center and telecommunications markets is fusion splice-on connectors. Fusion splice-on connectors have been expanding to data centers through telecommunications and it also shifts from the existing termination method/connectivity to fusion splice-on connector. It could be the next generation of fiber optic connectivity

Cost reduction and fast installation time

1) In short distance (1~50m), the pre-connectorized cable assemblies are recommended.2) The longer length of the cable assemblies are relatively expensive compared to the fusion

splice-on connector solution which allows on-site field termination with the desired length of cable and enables a fast installation to save time for relatively longer distance over 30 meters with narrow and limited space.

3) No additional storage required for cable slack and no splice tray required for protection of fusion splicing points.

Key points of Data Center Solution

Quality (25 year guarantee)

1) No scratches and no physical damage on fiber stripped by the built-in thermal stripper - Small scratches on fiber can cause critical crack or loss in fiber connection. For example, to guarantee service life, the submarine cable is stripped by the chemical stripping method to prevent scratches on the fiber during stripping. ILSINTECH thermal stripper is designed to satisfy this clean stripping.

2) Quality guaranteed for the fusion splice-on connector (MPO, LC, SC) ‒ Premium level of loss (IL: LC and SC, Typ. 0.15dB, Max. 0.3dB, RL: SM UPC ≥55dB, APC ≥ 65dB, MM ≥30dB / MPO Typ. 0.15dB, Max. 0.35dB, RL: MM ≥20dB, SM ≥60dB) and fusion splicing loss typ. 0.02dB

Best options for repair, restoration and maintenance

1) Most of problems and defects for the cable assemblies come from the connectors.2) While the long length of pre-connectorized cable assembly is very high in manufacturing cost.

ILSINTECH’s fusion splice-on connectors enable to save cost and time by customizing the cable length on-site.

3) The fusion splice-on connectors provide solutions for easy replacement of the malfunctioned connectors, saving time and saving space due to eliminating cable slack. However, if replaced by new pre-connectorized cable assembly, it requires longer time in replacement and the space for the cable storage is required for cable slack.
